Bulldogs : Ryan White injured

Sadly, Ryan White injured his knee yesterday and could miss several weeks (ala Markov? Maybe). That would mean, if the habs decide to call up a bulldog, it would be between Palushaj/Desharnais/Maxwell.

Well, as long as Pyatt will take the league minimum salary, anyway, he'll have a place in the NHL with his PK/forecheck and 0 goals.

I don't understand something. I don't like both Marc-Andre Bergeron and Tom Pyatt. But why everybody here love Tom Pyatt because he is good on the PK but a really bad hockey player ? The same people dislike Bergeron who was a beast on the PP and a really bad hockey player too.

????????????????

Same situation, but anybody can play on the PK. Lapierre, Moen, Boyd, Halpern, Eller name it. They all can do the job.

It's sad for Ryan White. Poor kid, it was suppose to be his year (but the coaching staff prefer to put a defensemen on the third line+Pyatt and Eller with an average of 0 goals and 0,5pts this year...) Pyat... For a rare time in my life, I can't stand a player of my own team

a defensive error is more visible than an offensive error.
that explains why MAB was "hated".
I appreciated what MAB put on the table for the habs. he "saved" the season. Cause without a PP, we would've not made the playoffs.

Pyatt is doing his job on the PK (and he proved it) and having less ES ice time than Eller

Most of the game is played 5v5, bergeron hurts us 5v5. He's a specialist and that's all and most people would much rather have someone like pyatt than bergeron for those simple reasons.

Do you honestly think that is reason enough to explain the success of our PK this year? As if it were that simple? Just Gorges and Gill. You undersell so many people if that is truly your opinion, both people on the ice and in the coaching staff. However, the guy you undersell more than any other is Carey Price. You honestly believe he is not one of the major reasons of our penalty killing success this year?

I'm only throwing this out there by way of trying to find an explanation in answer to your question, but perhaps people disliked MAB because they felt that despite any strength he brought to the PP, he undid that by way of some poor defensive play. While Tom Pyatt isn't scoring goals/points, he brings something to the team without costing the team much. Plus Tom is a young player and could be expected to have some weak points and make some mistakes whereas MAB is a seasoned veteran. Just a thought.

MAB isn't too much of a liability when he plays as the 4th line LW and serves on the PP, but what about when he has to put in considerable minutes as a Dman?
